Students in the Master of Engineering (MEng) program in Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineering may complete the requirements for a Graduate Diploma in conjunction with their MEng requirements.
Degree Requirements
Requirements for the MEng include the completion of eight graduate level courses as specified below for each diploma area: Design Engineering, Fire Safety, Green Energy.
All courses are 600 and 700 level courses and students are not allowed to take more than two 500 level courses (courses open to both undergraduates and graduates) out of their eight required courses.
